Why are the teachings edited, if Krishnamurti didn’t want them altered?
By editing, we don’t mean eliminating Krishnamurti’s material. But if you’ve ever read a court transcript, for instance, there are lots of repetitions by participants ― spaces of silence, um’s and ah’s ― that add nothing to the work but are highly distracting to the listener. Krishnamurti’s recorded talks have to be listened to word by word, then transcribed, and then verified by a third party, checking against the original. When dealing with recordings that may be more than 40 years old, the work is difficult and slow, and impossible to automate, with voice recognition software, for example.
